As discussed in class, please have a look at the attached powerpoint slide with the interpretation of Barry Coward about the Cabal. Please read it and come to class next Wednesday 22nd Nov. with your explanation of what his interpretation is.

Please remember that due to the early close on Thursday, we don’t have a lesson that afternoon. As a result, you need to hand in your Stuarts essays on whether Oliver Cromwell was a military dictator tomorrow (Weds 27th Sept 2017).

Please follow this link to a fantastic podcast http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/barry-coward.mp3 (featuring Barry Coward!) it might be of interest for your upcoming Stuarts essay on Cromwell as a military dictator. It pretty much debates your question and shows that a balanced answer to this question is essential.

I would definitely recommend listening to it before you attempt the essay.
